Determining what type of cast iron radiator

I have a download chart from this site that determines the output of a cast iron rad. I am confused on what type of rad this is, (column or tube). And how many columns or tubes this is?
Thanks, see photo.

Looks like it’s a United States Radiator Co. radiator similar to the American Rad Corto type radiator.0
